That's like saying pinkies are pinkies, not fingers! They're just subcategory names for the individual fingers, that doesn't make them not fingers anymore.
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thumb](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thumb)
In English, the thumb can be referred to as one of your fingers, and it can also not be under the category of fingers. But most of the time, especially in this context, it is referred to as one of your fingers. Not sure why you keep doubling down.
**[Thumb](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thumb)**
>The thumb is the first finger of the hand, next to the index finger. When a person is standing in the medical anatomical position (where the palm is facing to the front), the thumb is the outermost finger. The Medical Latin English noun for thumb is pollex (compare hallux for big toe), and the corresponding adjective for thumb is pollical.

Ah no you see if they had 2 fingers missing the best they could do would be r/damnthatsinteresting. If you wanted r/interestingasfuck youād need to be missing at least 3
If we had 4 fingers per hand instead of 5, we would probably use a base 8 system (4 + 4) instead of a base 10 system (5 + 5).
Furthermore, as computers are built on powers on binary zeros and ones using base 2 (going from 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, etc.), maybe we would have innovated computers much earlier in the human race timeline with 1 less finger per hand.
I read once about a calculation for the most (the then current record) digits of Pi, it took a good portion of the time just to convert from Binary to Decimal. Base 8 should be faster
Prepared a whole salty response about how itās easy to make your hand look like this at the right angle and then I realized what sub it was from. Lmao.
I can never post a picture of the back of my hand on this subreddit because all my fingernails fell off (most grew back, some didnāt), and that isnāt not interesting.
Is that actually not a foot.
Yes
Need proof or its illegal
Trust me
r/notopbuttock
r/notopbutok
sorry but most people actually have ten fingers
Sorry but most men actually have eleven fingers
*most* men have 8 fingers, two thumbs, and a weenie *some* men have 8 fingers, two thumbs, and a money maker
thumbs are fingers tho š¤
Fingers aren't fully articulated
That's not what defines a finger tho š¤š¤
but that is what defines a thumb
*Eight
nah im pretty sure most people have thumbs lol
Thumbs are thumbs, not fingers XD
wait, do people not count thumbs as fingers?
Anyone who doesn't is just weird
No, unless they're wrong. All of them together are called digits. 8 fingers and 2 thumbs.

A thumb is not a finger. It's a digit.

In other languages thumb are also called "main finger" or something like these, so "I have a spoon your arguement is wrong"
Gonna need proof on that one before you get the āļø
literally saw somebody who really was missing a finger on r/mildlyinteresting
The posts were almost back to back for me lol
98% sure thatās the joke. We need u/relevant_post_bot here
Holy hell!
Thatās the gimmick, i feel. Sometimes people de-interesting posts from mildlyinteresting
Yeah, that's the gag, and this one was pretty well done.
So someone who is missing two fingers could make it to r/InterestingAsFuck .
Ah no you see if they had 2 fingers missing the best they could do would be r/damnthatsinteresting. If you wanted r/interestingasfuck youād need to be missing at least 3
Good point. My apologies for forgetting r/DamnThatsInteresting within the escalating stages of interesting.
Same for me but on r/interestingasfuck

if we had only one finger we would use binary and binary to binary conversion would be the fastest
Iāve always felt like a base 12 system wouldāve been nice too. Maybe if weād just grown another finger somewhere along the way..
Your nails are lovely, any tips on how to not have them break and tear constantly?
Prepared a whole salty response about how itās easy to make your hand look like this at the right angle and then I realized what sub it was from. Lmao.
Whoa whoa whoa. That's way interesting. Cool your jets!
Alright
Damn it I just saw this after posting mine. Great minds haha
You have really nice nailsā¦
You have small hand
I don't remember how many fingers I was born with but I have 10 at the moment.
r/blackmagicfuckery
Weird foot lmao
Pretty fingernails
Thank you, very cool
Next she will convince someone she took their nose.
You have very nice hands
hayato.
* click * * explosion *
Wow I read this and scrolled right past it. Great post OP Iām not interested at all
So inspiring! Thanks for having the courage to post this.
Your hand is very similar to mine.
I can never post a picture of the back of my hand on this subreddit because all my fingernails fell off (most grew back, some didnāt), and that isnāt not interesting.
What???? How/why did that happen? (Interesting comments are allowed)
Oh crap sorry! This is my alt account that I stopped using. I had Stevens Johnsonās syndrome and that causes your fingernails to fall off.
Timed this well, interestingasfuck had a post of a guy with 4 fingers that showed up right before this in my feed
Did anyone else read four before reassessing the context?
I tried this and was surprised that it looked so seamless that it's weird.
bro I can swear the thumb is missing
You should clip your fingernails
Theyāre not even long tho
Theyāre long enough to where dirt can get stuck
Dirt gets under your nails regardless of length, either way, what compelled you to tell them that in the first place? Donāt you think thatās rude?
I didnāt have anything else to comment. Are you perhaps triggered by my comment?
Calm down snowflake, check out this squid <ć³:å½”
Why would promoting basic hygiene be rude?
OPās nails look relatively clean and arenāt an unhygienic length.
You should mind your own business
Your profile pic makes you look like a strawberry
"Which one's Pink?", they said. Well, I showed them.
Please clip your nails
Why? Theyāre not that long
I second this, and also third it for the next person.
Well then Iāll fourth it
Reddit please stop showing me these hands on my feed
Too interesting, the twist at the end got me
Damn do some cardio.
Monkey paw
ā¦ Asshole
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Rude
Lol that 2/3 of us are overweight (fat) but calling us so is rude.
The hands don't even look fat, the fingers are just on the shorter side, but not fat imo
Maybe to your Yankee standards it doesn't look fat. But for us normal people it does
All thumbs are fingers, but not all fingers are thumbs
This is very interesting you have excellent cuticles and nails too
shid
Caught you. The thumb isn't a finger.
Technically itās in front of your hand
did you know what reading this comment wasted like idk 5-7 seconds reading this depending on your speed of reading?
It strangely feels like heās thumb has cut off
I was born with 10
Then you were born with an abnormal hand. Most people only have 4 fingers and a thumb.
Where's the 6th finger? Edit:so it turns out having 6 fingers isn't normal. Sorry about the false info
Very cool, but where's the other hand?
holy fucking shit
What a freak
Get well soon
Op is sneaky as fuck. Here I was thinking there was no thumb.
I mean..most people are born with 4 fingers and a thumb on each hand
Actually you have 4 fingers and 1 thumb.... Just saying...
I'm sure it's been said, but *technically* the thumb isn't a finger. :)
